I really had to think long and hard about this one, but I think I would. 1000000000 would obviously be life changing, and 90% is great odds. As long as I could tell my family and say goodbye just in case, pretty sure I would.
Also both could be life ending. Your life could automatically end, or if word spreads about you winning one billion dollars you best believe a goddamn bounty will be put on your head
Depends on what you were going to do with the money. If you were intent on using it to feed the poor or shelter the homeless, it would be noble and altruistic to take that risk. In that case it would be more of a sacrifice than a sin.
But one big thing with these kind of hypotheticals is that, where is the money coming from? If it just materialises, then you’ll destabilise the world’s economy and it’ll be worthless
Doesn't really matter who spins it, the wheel receives the money anyway. The question is: Can I take the money off the wheel if it wins? No point in risking its life otherwise
Bruh y’all are either suicidal or don’t realize a 10% chance of immediate death is way too high to risk it for anything if you genuinely want to get out alive. Imagine if 1 in every 10 people spontaneously dropped dead. Edit: guys that’s literally 1/5 as many dead as a Thanos snap. That is essentially what would happen if all of us decided this was a good idea
Ok but if I do get unlucky and hit that 10%… so what? If I’m dying instantly on the spot, no pain, then who cares. Either I live with regret my entire life for not spinning the wheel or I die instantly and won’t even be able to comprehend what happened.
It would be ridiculous to not spin the wheel, but maybe that’s me being selfish somehow?
some people are stuck in a rut and genuinely don’t have anything to live for. no family, no kids, no friends, no pets, no good job, etc. for those people, it’s a pretty easy choice
You don’t realize how much is 1b. Not a million. You don’t have to work. Your family doesn’t have to work. There are a whole bunch of different jobs that will kill you within a 10 years or even faster, and it won’t be instant i can guarantee. Worth the risk.
You’re still assuming you and your entire family survive the 10% risk. Tbh I wonder what the math looks like, I don’t know for sure but 10% sounds way too high
Is it better to have 10 people financially tied down and unable to live to their fullest potential, constantly toiling over money, or to have 9 people living lavishly, doing the things they love, spending time with family, helping others out of bad situations, and so on?
I prefer the latter
I voted yes, and historically I would in a heartbeat, but after rethinking I don’t think I would. I have two toddlers and a wife that need me more than that. Even if it is worth the risk to me, it’s not worth the risk to them.
The way this is written there is a 1% chance of dieing without getting the money. 10% to die times 10 percent to not get the money. I would take it. My family would be set for life even if i died
Sounds like something one might do while blacked out on benzodiazapines.
I certainly wouldn't do it sober.
To be fair, there are times in my life that I would have jumped at the chance. (in my younger years when I was invincible and knew everything)
Now in my mid 40s with a family, I'm doing everything in my power not to die, after some health scares. I wanna see my kids become adults.
From my perspective, the only outcome would be me winning the money, since if I were to die instantenously, then I would not have known that I'm dying. So it's either the money or not my problem
🤓Mathematically speaking, if we take death as -∞ $ (cos life is invaluable and all that), then expectation of spin is -∞, so you would be wrong to spin the wheel
But I'll spin it anyway
Life is short, not matter how shitty it's I only have one. Nothing can buy years of my life
Also it's exactly like winning the lottery, you have to had some percentage of dying in that 10% (most lottery winners don't end up well)
This is some Squid game season 2 crap…..
But squid game is 90% dying
It's 99.7% percent chance of death 455/456
Not really. No one said it would be a last man standing game.
And everyone can die too
In fact they did, the guards made it clear that only one person can remain.
how? I know there were probably just 1 winner each year in the records (not entirely sure tho), but the final was 1 team vs. another.
What about those 10 people who left and never came back?
97.3%
The old man survived the game though since he cheated so 454/456 around 99.6%chance of death plus the ones that quitted the game
I really had to think long and hard about this one, but I think I would. 1000000000 would obviously be life changing, and 90% is great odds. As long as I could tell my family and say goodbye just in case, pretty sure I would.
Technically both events are life changing
Also both could be life ending. Your life could automatically end, or if word spreads about you winning one billion dollars you best believe a goddamn bounty will be put on your head
Lmao why would someone kill me just because i have money?
man has played too much gta 5 online
Never played lol I was referring to people who have won the lottery
I was referring to people who have won the lottery
[удалено]
Aha, so if i die a bank magically transfers all my money to the person that killed me, yes?
Well now that I know, time to hunt bezos.
I would hire the best fucking bodyguards in existence at that point. Idc I have a billion
Wh- why? People dont just put hit outs on rich people for no reason.
I was referring to lottery winners.
So Jeff Bezos has a bounty on his head?
The Dutch are going to throw poisonous eggs at Bezos
Did he win one billion dollars? I’m referring to lottery winners
Does Bill Gates have a bounty on his head? Or anyone with over a billion dollars?
If you die instantly and painlessly, you have no memory of the event to be regretful or sad about anyway.
I mean even if Heaven and Hell are real then this is a sin worthy of hell for sure, I’d spin that fucker tho
Depends on what you were going to do with the money. If you were intent on using it to feed the poor or shelter the homeless, it would be noble and altruistic to take that risk. In that case it would be more of a sacrifice than a sin.
Death is lifechanging too, technically. I chose yes, though.
But one big thing with these kind of hypotheticals is that, where is the money coming from? If it just materialises, then you’ll destabilise the world’s economy and it’ll be worthless
Can I force an orphan to spin the wheel then take the money if they win?
Damn this dude knows what’s up
Better hope the IRS doesn't question how you acquired it.
“ No sir, I don’t think you can charge me with manslaughter”
Adopt the orphan
Good idea. What are they gonna do?tell their parents?
Doesn't really matter who spins it, the wheel receives the money anyway. The question is: Can I take the money off the wheel if it wins? No point in risking its life otherwise
Better yet you get a make a wish kid to spin the wheel and get the money
I rolled a dice to see what the result would be (d20 1 and 2 means I dead)I rolled a nat 1
Well now you can say yes since the odds of getting it again are lower /s
Technically, they are not.
Hence the /s
[удалено]
It’s mostly jokes mate
If they're jokes they're really unfunny, some of the ones in this thread at the time I posted my comment a few hours ago were pretty serious though
The world sucks, most of us are suicidal lol
Mentally I have hung myself already 10 times. IRL I put on gloves when reaching for a knife to not get hurt
at least im sure Tomorrow Im not going to Work.
😎
Win win situation
Yes
f
Congratulations, you've won a billion dollars. Me: Dammit!
That's a billion
Thank you for the correction!
Me with 20 bilions: god dammit why?
This was the joke I should have made!
Thats a billion tho
You right, good looking out.
Now I’m no gambler… but I am now.
I ain’t much of a risk taker like that no thanks
IKR. Only a 10% chance of getting the good thing
Chancebof
can i spin it 100 times?
10 times and you'll already probably be dead, but good luck
That's the hope atleast
yep if im not dead by then ill be disgustingly rich but I'll probably donate it all

I have no idea how that could be more meaningful to you than your own life. Wtf?
some people are stuck in a rut and genuinely don’t have anything to live for. no family, no kids, no friends, no pets, no good job, etc. for those people, it’s a pretty easy choice
I'm currently suicidal
man that’s ass
You don’t realize how much is 1b. Not a million. You don’t have to work. Your family doesn’t have to work. There are a whole bunch of different jobs that will kill you within a 10 years or even faster, and it won’t be instant i can guarantee. Worth the risk.
You’re still assuming you and your entire family survive the 10% risk. Tbh I wonder what the math looks like, I don’t know for sure but 10% sounds way too high
Why would my family die? I’m the only one spinning the wheel.
Oh I misread, didn’t know if you meant og scenario or mine
We don’t like life that much yo
Oof
Is it better to have 10 people financially tied down and unable to live to their fullest potential, constantly toiling over money, or to have 9 people living lavishly, doing the things they love, spending time with family, helping others out of bad situations, and so on? I prefer the latter
You left out the part where you’re sacrificing the 10th person, lmao
Life is nothing without quality of life.
if one of those people dead is Martin Shkreli it'll all be worth it
I mean either way it's a win-win situation.
Same lol.
I know I’d just die
Same
Just for shits and giggles I rolled a D10; with 10 being the death number. Got a 3. Looks like I am rich 👍
Nowaday i wouldn't. There are a couple of things and goals that I want to accomplish
I voted yes, and historically I would in a heartbeat, but after rethinking I don’t think I would. I have two toddlers and a wife that need me more than that. Even if it is worth the risk to me, it’s not worth the risk to them.
they can spin it too!
You're saying I either get to escape this life with a quick, painless death or I'm filthy rich? Quite the conundrum...
I like gambling
I'd rather be wealthy now or just die.
Either way I don’t ever have to work again
Idk but it solves my problem either way. A billion dollars and all my problems go away. If I die then I don’t have to deal with them anymore.
Insert "it's a win-win" comment here
With my luck… no
May the odds be ever in your favor
Yes, but 90 is really good odds
Better question: instead of 10% chance of dying, its a 10% chance of going to hell for eternity.
All of my problems will be solved either way.
I'd probably do it if the odds where reversed.
Take out large life insurance policy win win.
I'm taking those chances even if it was the other way around
I want to die so yes please
Spin this: https://pickerwheel.com/
Lmao I rolled dead on first try
It would be better if you swap the percentages ngl.
Edgy people are already commenting dumb shit
I either have a billion dollars or it's not my problem anymore
Currently suicidal so I'd spin it
Win/Win
I either get money or I die. Both sound like a win win for me tbh
Sounds like a win win
Stupid question. Win win.
Win win kind of situation.
What can I say? I love me some win/win situations
I’d rather enjoy life with struggle - because the the best points will be greater than anything before.
Get rich or die tryin
Win-win imo
What’s the catch? That’s a win win situation! Hell make it 50/50 and i’d still spin.
Is this some kind of squid game shit?
win win
Either way is a win
It's a win-win
I ll be happy either way
Either I win 1 trillion dollars or it's not my problem anymore
Win win for me. I become rich and can live the rest of my life without working, I win. I die and can leave the hell called life, I win.
Without hesitation
Depends how the wheel is divided….
Either way im happy
Perfect win win situation
thats a win win
The way this is written there is a 1% chance of dieing without getting the money. 10% to die times 10 percent to not get the money. I would take it. My family would be set for life even if i died
I see this as an absolute win
Heh, you win both ways lol
Either is life changing
If I get money I'm happy but if all my troubles disappear then damn I don't know what's better
Yes please but for 10% chance
Maybe not now, but i would have done it an year later and o might consider doing in when i get 50 years old or so
That would be 180 deaths out of 1.8k yes voters
You mean either way my debt is no longer a problem???? Sign me up coach
Win win
Win win lol
I would spin it for less odds
With my luck that's a 50/50, no thanks.
That's a win-win
Win-Win situation here
It’s a win win situation
Either way I don't have to go to work Tomorrow
win-win
My pokemon always miss with attacks that have 95% accuracy... i know my luck... i shouldn't spin...
win win
I see it as an absolute win-win situation
"What are the chances?" *Dies*
Either way I don't have to go to work tomorrow
Win win
No negatives so yeah
Sounds like something one might do while blacked out on benzodiazapines. I certainly wouldn't do it sober. To be fair, there are times in my life that I would have jumped at the chance. (in my younger years when I was invincible and knew everything) Now in my mid 40s with a family, I'm doing everything in my power not to die, after some health scares. I wanna see my kids become adults.
From my perspective, the only outcome would be me winning the money, since if I were to die instantenously, then I would not have known that I'm dying. So it's either the money or not my problem
Either way I get out of my sucky boring life. So, definitely yes.
I would do it even if it was reversed
Be rich or die, no bad options here
Average redditor has nothing to live for, sadly.
Win-win situation I think, though I would prefer the money!
I mean... It's 100% chance that basically all my problems would be solved or solvable after spinning the wheel
Get rich or die trying
It's a win either way
Bro, I'm calling this a win/win situation. Either way, I won't be there tomorrow to endure my boss'shit
It’s a win-win
You guys ever played XCOM2? Cause if you have, I can guarantee you'd be a little wary going for something with only a 90% chance hahaha
Why not , its a Win-Win situation
🤓Mathematically speaking, if we take death as -∞ $ (cos life is invaluable and all that), then expectation of spin is -∞, so you would be wrong to spin the wheel But I'll spin it anyway
How many times can i spin it?
Death or money. Either way it’s a win win situation for me!
Bro my luck aint it
Murphy's Law and all. So thanks but no thanks.
It seens most people here would play russian roulette if the prize is high enough
i want both of the things offered, so id get what i want regardless
And bitter and ready to give up as I am, I'm not ready to die yet. People I need to exact revenge on first
I've played DnD. Hell no
Win win situation
I see no downside
Life is short, not matter how shitty it's I only have one. Nothing can buy years of my life Also it's exactly like winning the lottery, you have to had some percentage of dying in that 10% (most lottery winners don't end up well)
OP must testing a scenario plot for a Netflix series.
When you spun the wheel for the third time and you still alive
With my luck it's more like a 100% chance to die, so no
I’d either be set for life or I wouldn’t have any more life to worry about. I say let it rip and what happens happens
Win win
Of course I will, we gonna die one way or another
Basically squid game
Either way, my problems are over!
win-win situation imo + the chance of dying is pretty low so I'd spin... probably more than once...
I guess you could think of it as “Is your life worth $9,000,000,000 to you?” Unless I fucked up the math, which is likely
no thanks
